Canadian rapper Drake has suffered another major betting loss after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.The music star had placed a $1.5 million bet on Argentina to win the tournament, hoping to receive a payout of $5.1 million.
However, Spain’s victory meant he walked away empty-handed.The loss has once again fueled conversations about the so-called “Drake Curse”—a popular internet theory claiming that teams or athletes publicly supported by the rapper often end up losing.
This isn’t the first time Drake has experienced bad luck with sports betting. Earlier this year, he also lost a wager after backing former UFC champion Conor McGregor, who was beaten by Max Holloway.With another high-profile prediction ending in disappointment, fans have once again joked about the “Drake Curse,” with some even pointing to websites dedicated to tracking his betting history and sports predictions.
